About This Episode: This conversation with Wassima was unlike any I've had before. As a Turkish citizen, she is open and candid about the challenges she faces in raising her son. "Lack of support" really doesn't do it justice, and I'm so grateful to her for coming on and sharing her story. Here are just some of the things we discussed:
-The meaning of "giftedness" in Turkey
-How people focus on the wrong thing in gifted children
-When moms are made to feel like they're exaggerating
-Lowering our expectations of gifted kids
-Lack of focus on emotional health of gifted children
-Can a child have too much empathy?
-Single parenting a gifted child
